Los Angeles, CA (May 06, 2026): Allison Williams (Regretting You, M3gan, Get Out, HBO’s “Girls”) and Michelle Randolph (Paramount+’s “Landman”, Scream 7, Paramount+’s 1923) are set to star in sci-fi survival thriller HOMEWRECKER from leading genre filmmaker Xavier Gens (Under Paris, Hitman, Netflix’s “Lupin”, Sky’s “Gangs of London”, Farang /Mayhem!, upcoming Sanctuary, upcoming Malin Fors) who will direct from an original screenplay by Elisa Bell (Vegas Station, Little Black Book) and Travis Gordon.
During a heart-breaking domestic revelation, three star-crossed Americans are suddenly forced to work together to survive a terrifying unexplained global event that threatens to destroy life as they know it. In the spirit of A Quiet Place, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Independence Day, Homewrecker is a riotous, relentless, and singular sci-fi action adventure.
Denise Di Novi (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Little Women, A Walk To Remember, Batman Returns, Heathers), Margaret French Isaac (Stepmom, The Fan) and Oliver Scherick will produce for DI NOVI PICTURES, with John Zois (Greenland franchise, Amazon’s “The Girlfriend”, The Night House) and Warren Goz (The Marksman, Copshop, Asphalt City) producing for PARALLEL 42 ENTERTAINMENT. Michael Rothstein and Samuel Hall will executive produce for NORTH.FIVE.SIX. (By Any Means, Regretting You, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, The Surfer, Locked), alongside Williams.
Production starts mid July 2026 in France. NORTH.FIVE.SIX. are fully financing and representing worldwide distribution rights on the film. NORTH.FIVE.SIX., CAA MEDIA FINANCE and UTA INDEPENDENT FILM GROUP will co-rep domestic distribution rights on the film.
Gens is coming off Netflix’s hit Parisian creature feature Under Paris, Amazon’s global hit “Lupin”, and StudioCanal’s actioner Farang / Mayhem!
Williams is coming off box office hit Regretting You for Paramount Pictures.
Randolph is coming off major Paramount+ hit “Landman”, as well as Paramount’s box office hit Scream 7.
Allison Williams said: “I found the script riveting, and it had a depth that continued shifting and revealing itself as I read. Then, knowing Xavier’s work, I was very eager to work with this talented filmmaker. I’m grateful to be part of this team and this project.”
Michelle Randolph said: “I was immediately drawn to how Homewrecker blends psychological tension with something deeply character-driven. It has a kind of intensity and unpredictability that makes it such a compelling project. I’m so excited to be part of this with Allison and Xavier.”
Xavier Gens said: “I’m thrilled to explore American mythology from a uniquely intimate point of view. I can’t wait to share the set with Allison Williams and Michelle Randolph and push the boundaries of humanity further than I’ve ever gone before.”
